The game saw stellar pitching from Austin Jordan who went 3 innings and in relief came John-Michael Boswell holding the Warriors to only 3 runs.

In game two the Sting just could not hit away from the Red Hawks (Kansas) gloves and not to mention just plain horrible officiating by the 12u umpire. Nevertheless, StingBBC fell to the Red Hawks by run rule score of 10-2 in the 5th inning. Pitching for the Sting included one inning by Tyler McCain and a four inning production by Crit Williams.
